Cheese fire in Norway tunnel burns for 5 days.
“This high concentration of fat and sugar is almost like petrol if it gets hot enough,” said Viggo Berg, a policeman.
Brown cheese is made from whey, contains up to 30 percent fat and has a caramel taste. “I didn’t know that brown cheese burns so well,” said Kjell Bjoern Vinje at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.
He added that in his 15 years in the administration, this was the first time cheese had caught fire on Norwegian roads.

A bomb exploding in Norway.

I worked as a volunteer for years for the Anti-Racist Centre in Oslo , and always knew of the neo-nazi element in Norway. And what they wished they could do.

Hell, it’s been an emotional few weeks, personally, work-wise and in the world.
Forgive the ramblings of a middle-aged boy.
